Psalm 139 詩篇一三九

Psalm139.jpg
Lord you're near me every hour
主你隨時靠近我,
You would know the least thing
你知微小事情,
You who see me from afar
你從遠處鑒察我,
Sleeping or arising
無論睡著、睡醒,

Lord before me and behind
主你在我前、我後,
Infinite and ageless
無限廣闊、永恒;
Such a number is too high
其數巨大無可比,
I cannot attain it
是我遠不能及。

If to Heaven's heights I fly
若我飛升上高天,
You are still beside me,
你會在我身旁;
Or in death's dark shadows lie,
若我下榻在陰間,
You will stay close by me.
你仍與我臨近。

If I flee on morning wings
清晨展翅逃離你,
Far across the gray sea,
跨洋越海遠離;
Even there your hand will lead,
在那裏你仍帶領,
Your right hand will guide me.
你右手將我指引。

In the secret of the womb
當我隱藏母腹裏,
I was formed and molded
身體模造成型;
I was skillfull and adorned
精細靈巧的創造,
wonderfully worthed
價值尊貴無比。

You have numbered all my days
在世年日你已數過,
Long before you gave them
遠在未來臨前。
In the pages of the book
生命冊你已記載,
They have all been gifted
恩典早蒙賜下。

High and wondrous are your thoughts
你的心高遠奇妙,
Fast beyond our telling
超過我能測度。
If I count them they grow more
若數點,比海沙多,
I can never grasp them
絲毫不能掌握。

Search me God and know my heart
主!求鑒察我心思,
Let evil never find me
讓邪惡無法臨近;
Lead me on your rigtheous path
求引導我走義路,
Sure and everlasting.
一生一世不移。

讀洛克的「政府論」及盧梭的「社會契約論」心得

第一章 前言      今日西方社會的政治制度多半受到古典自由主義( classical liberalism )的影響。 無論是君主立憲,或各種類型的共和政體,政府組織運作的理念,多半源自於西方政治思想。其權利機構的設計也是以古典自由主義所提倡的政治理論為基礎,進而有各樣的...
